EnglishWhat Is Savage Chickens?
Updated
Savage Chickens is a webcomic by Doug Savage, drawn on sticky notes and usually featuring chickens. It's been running long enough to have published more than 5,500 cartoons, which the site organizes by character, theme, and recurring series. If you want a daily gag cartoon you can read in a few seconds, or you're looking for a specific strip about work, robots, or pirates, this is the site for it.
What you'll actually find there
The homepage is a reverse-chronological feed of recent cartoons. Each entry shows the strip, its date, a comment count, the categories it belongs to, and a handful of tags. For example, a recent post titled "Unexpected" is filed under Cartoons and Road Comics and tagged Expectations, Marriage, Proposal, and Question.
The format is consistent: a single panel or short sequence drawn on a 3x5 sticky note. That constraint is the whole visual identity — simple line drawings, handwriting-style text, and a yellow square.
The recurring cast and series
Savage Chickens isn't one continuous storyline. It's a set of characters and themed runs that rotate. The site's category list gives the clearest picture of what's in there:
| Category type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Characters | Jason Chicken, Zombie Chicken, Little Chicken, Moon Bear, Tammy Tofu, Timmy Tofu, Worm |
| Series | PROD3000, Road Comics, Chickenless, Poet-Bot, Aquachicken, Useless Mutants |
| Themes | Corporate Survivalist, Excellence In Management, Irrational Fears, Death, Halloween, Ninjas, Pirate |
Cartoons is by far the largest category at over 5,500 entries. Chickenless (1,158) and Cat Adventures (362) show that not every strip is about chickens — the name is a starting point, not a rule.
Popular topics as a browsing shortcut
If you don't want to scroll the archive, the site lists popular topics as tags: Work, Management, Technology, Robot, Productivity, Fear, Death, Love, Parenting, Internet, Language, and more. These are useful when you want a strip for a specific occasion — a work joke for a meeting slide, for instance — rather than reading in order.
Beyond the cartoons
The site also points to:
- Books — Doug Savage's published collections, including a "latest book" featured on the homepage.
- Store — mugs, t-shirts, and other merchandise. A coffee mug is the example the site itself uses.
- Licensing — for using cartoons in other contexts.
- Cartoons by email — a daily cartoon delivered to your inbox via Patreon, which is the site's subscription route.
- News and Events — updates and appearances.
There's also an About section covering why Savage draws chickens, the characters, and popular cartoons, plus a Where to Start page if the archive size is intimidating.
Who it's for
Read it if you like one-panel office and existential humor, want a low-commitment daily comic, or need a themed cartoon for a specific topic. Skip it if you're looking for long-form narrative comics or a continuous story — Savage Chickens is built as standalone gags, and the sticky-note format never changes.
